One Methodology for SAP Transformation
The SAP Activate methodology begins with defining a business strategy, which then translates into identifying the necessary business capabilities. Within SAP LeanIX, you can drill down from a specific business capability to determine which solutions can best deliver this capability.
Next, the focus shifts to processes. This is where SAP Signavio plays a crucial role. It helps you understand the current processes running in your system, whether they are documented or uncovered through a plug-and-play approach for gaining insights into existing processes. For standard processes, you can leverage SAP's best practices to stay as close to standard as possible, minimizing your total cost of ownership. For more unique, differentiating processes, you tailor your own.
Once requirements are identified and approved, they move into the implementation or realization phase. Here, SAP Cloud ALM takes over, managing customization, development, and deployment. After development and configuration, testing is essential. Initial manual testing can be executed directly in SAP Cloud ALM, while Tricentis facilitates automated regression testing later on.
Training is also a critical step, enabled through SAP Enable Now, and in the future, WalkMe will also play a role. Once your team is trained on the new processes, you can go live. Post-launch, it's crucial to ensure smooth operation of your solution, marking the completion of the first implementation cycle.
However, the process doesn't end there. Continuous improvement is key; you re-enter the process analysis phase to identify potential enhancements. Decisions on changes lead to a new implementation cycle, culminating in another go-live, this time with the improved process version. This iterative cycle is fundamental to evolving and refining your business processes with SAP tools.
